Four Camaros to be among the bevy of Chevys at the Vegas show.

Recent News

A couple of years ago, we tried to tally the number of Camaros we saw at the SEMA show. We lost interest after counting 37 in one day. This year, Chevy and everyone else will have access to the Camaro convertible (not to mention a few ZL1 coupes), so we’re expecting Camaro attendance to at least double. GM is of course doing its part, evidenced by the cars below.

Chevrolet Camaro 1LE Track Pack Concept

Option code 1LE was born in the ’80s as a road-racing prep package. It stripped the unnecessary accessories, like a radio and A/C, and added different gearing, bigger brakes, and, in fourth-gen cars, swapped the stock dampers for Konis. This Camaro pulls a lot of the same tricks while also borrowing parts from the new ZL1. Lightweight 20-inch wheels are wrapped in the same Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperCar tires, the car has a close-ratio six-speed manual and the ZL1’s shifter, and it uses upgraded Brembo brakes and magnetorheological shocks. Other ZL1 parts: rear spoiler, rockers, steering wheel, front splitter, dual exhaust, and rear diffuser. This is the rare SEMA car with a purpose, plus it looks pretty sweet.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 Carbon Concept

This Carbon concept is basically a dressed-up ZL1. The hood insert, which is made of black-painted carbon fiber on all ZL1s, is clear-coated here so you can actually see it (previewing a forthcoming option). The modified rear spoiler also gets the carbon-fiber treatment. Carbon-fiber interior door panels are complemented by a few more CF touches, including an insert in the shift knob. Mostly black 20-inch wheels are unique to the concept, while the Ashen Gray paint is a new addition to the Camaro palette for 2012. It’s not an amazing transformation, but the ZL1 looked pretty good to begin with.

Chevrolet Camaro Convertible Red Zone Concept

Manufacturers sometimes put together “Spring Special” accessory packages to move inventory, and GM says this V-6 Camaro convertible is one such vehicle. It features a decal package inspired by one offered on the ’68 Camaro, 21-inch wheels, a tonneau cover for the retracted top, a Pedders lowering kit, and some other accessories.

Chevrolet Camaro Synergy Series Convertible

This SS convertible is the next in a line of Synergy Series Camaros, and the first droptop of the bunch. It gets unique wheels, striping, ground effects, and an accessory grille. Touches unique to the package, which could easily become factory-orderable, include the red stitching on the seats, steering wheel, doors, and shifter boot, and the red Brembo brake calipers.
